Biography When Leslie Slape was a little girl, she sneaked into the bedroom her younger sisters shared and told them stories she made up on the spot. On rainy days, she used to pull out her well-thumbed "Blue Fairy Book" and read the dialect stories in the back aloud to herself. As a journalist and playwright, Leslie interweaves Story into her life everywhere she can.
